you buy a bus made in america, the tires, everything's got to be made in america. you build a bridge, the steel has to come from america, except for a few loopholes in the law which we need to plug. if we begin to deal honestly with our backlog, 150,000 bridges on the national highway system are substandard and in need of either significant repair or replacement. that's a lot of steel. that's a lot of work. that's also a lot of detours for trucks and others trying to use the national highway system. then you can look at the surface of our national highway system itself, not just the bridges. 40% of the pavement is in fair to poor condition, you all experience that, potholes, blowing out tires, breaking axels, causing higher fuel consumption, accidents, all kinds of problems. that needs to be taken care of. then we have a our transit system, right here in wark, they're killing people on metro because they haven't the money to make the capital investments they need to have a modern light rail system in this city. and they're running cars that shouldn't be on the trac

i am interested in results for america. if we're going to people empty- handed, having to close offices, and cut back programs so we do not have the relationship that enables us to turn around and say, remember us? we did that with the egyptian military. we trained you. here is what we think you can do. we will be weakened. that is the bottom line. it is not a pleasant thing to say. at this moment in history as much as any, it is not like there is no competition out there. iran and china are competing with us. we have people more than happy to step forward and fill the void that we leave behind. i was struck that the conservative government in the united kingdom actually increased their development budget. they were cutting everything else. they said that if we do not compete and are not present, we're really going to be off the map. they are actually increasing their development budget. on these issues like south sudan, darfur, somalia -- the united states is the major player. i think we deserve a great deal of the credit
